Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 47

1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
6 chicken thighs
2 tablespoons canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peanut-Red Chile BBQ Sauce, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
5 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
3 cups canned plum tomatoes and juices, pureed
1 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup molasses
3 tablespoons ancho chili powder
3 tablespoons pasilla chili powder
2 tablespoons pureed chipotle chiles in adobo, pureed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 1/2 cups Mesa BBQ Sauce
2 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
Salt and pepper
1/2 head red cabbage, finely shredded
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup freshly squeeze orange juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
3 cups corn masa mix
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 cups warm water
Vegetable oil, for frying
Shredded chicken, guacamole, beans and cheese or your favorite filling
1/2 finely chopped roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Whisk together orange and lime juices, chili and garlic in a shallow baking dish, add the chicken thighs, turn to coat and marinate 1 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat grill to high or grill pan over high heat. Remove thighs from the marinade and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until just cooked through. Brush with some of the peanut sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.
  • Place tacos, chicken, peanut-red chili sauce, red cabbage slaw and relish in bowls and on serving platters and serve.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 30 to 40 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth, season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool at room temperature. Sauce will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator stored in a tightly sealed container.
  • Heat the oil in medium saucepan over medium heat; add the ginger and cook until soft. Increase heat to high, add the BBQ sauce and chicken stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half.
  • Whisk in the soy sauce and peanut butter and cook for 5 to 7 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place cabbage and onion in a large bowl. Whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, oil and honey and pour over the cabbage. Add the cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with mint. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
  • Combine the masa mix, salt and warm water in a large bowl and mix until a smooth dough forms. Pull off pieces of dough and roll them into balls about the size of a ping pong ball.
  • Cut a quart size resealable plastic bag open down both sides, to form a rectangle. Use the bag to line the tortilla press as you shape the tortillas so they do not stick: Lay 1 side of the plastic over the bottom of the press. Place a ball of dough in the center, and fold the other side of the plastic over the dough. Shut the top of the tortilla and press firmly down on the dough to shape the tortilla.
  • Meanwhile, pour 2 inches of vegetable oil into a large deep pot and heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Drop a tortilla into the hot oil and, using a metal spatula, repeatedly douse the tortilla with the hot oil until it begins to puff up. Flip it over and, using the spatula, make an indentation in the center of the tortilla to form a taco shape. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Fill each taco with 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken, guacamole, beans and cheese or your favorite filling.
  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl just before serving.

RED-CHILI-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND MUSHROOMS



Red-Chili-Braised Chicken With Potatoes And Mushrooms image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 cloves garlic, unpeeled
4 medium dried ancho chilies (about 2 ounces), stemmed and seeded
8 medium dried guajillo chilies (about 2 ounces), stemmed and seeded
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, preferably ground fresh
2 2/3 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned, plus more if needed 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 2 1/2- to 3-pound chicken, quartered
1 medium white onion, peeled and cut across into1/8-inch-thick slices
1 pound red-skinned potatoes (about 8 small), quartered
2 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oi

Steps:

  • Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the unpeeled garlic and roast until softened, shaking pan, about 15 minutes (garlic will blacken in spots). Cool and peel.
  • Meanwhile, heat another skillet. Open and flatten the chilies (they may break), and toast 2 at a time, pressing them against the hot surface until they crackle and emit wisps of smoke. Flip over and toast other sides. Place in a bowl of hot water. Weight with a plate to keep the chilies submerged, and soak for 30 minutes. Drain.
  • Place the garlic, chilies, oregano, cumin and 2/3 cup of chicken broth in a food processor or blender and process until smooth, scraping and stirring. Add more broth, if needed, to puree the chilies. Press through a medium-mesh sieve and set aside. (The dish can be made ahead up to here.)
  • Heat the oil in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry and place in the pot in a single uncrowded layer, in batches if necessary. Cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Place all but 2 onion slices in the pot. Saute until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the chile puree and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and much darker, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 cups of broth. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the potatoes and mushrooms, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Push the chicken legs into the sauce, cover partly and cook 15 minutes. Push the remaining chicken into the sauce, cover partly and cook until done, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Transfer the chicken to a warm, deep serving platter. Season the sauce and vegetables with salt. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and arrange the vegetables around it. Shape the reserved onion slices into rings and scatter over the vegetables. Serve.
